If you get a chance, breakfast at Doidge's is awesome...you will need to make a reservation if you want to go on the weekends. +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ Remove a "syn" from my reply address before replying by email Tonefully yours...

You'll be within a few steps of plenty of dim sum places... The best sushi bar in the Bay Area is in Berkeley -- Sushi Sho, on Solano avenue. Hawthorne Lane is quite good -- seared foie gras followed by grilled ostrich should set you right. Chinatown is great for sights and smells, but not eating -- for that, head to the avenues -- Clement St and Geary Blvd. And the neighborhood around 9th and Irving is hoppin' with casual places to drop into, as is the Castro. My neighborhood (Cole Valley) boasts little -- Zazie, a bistro, and Eos, a (con-)fusion cuisine resto and adjacent wine bar. The wine bar offers a long list of wines by the glass or half glass -- encouraging tasting. The menu has some good starters, but is (strangely) not very well suited to most of the wines on the list. There is an excellent hamburger joint, Burgermeister, on Carl nr. Cole (Niman Ranch Beef), and a great cheese shop (Say Cheese) -- you can find it by smell. Say Cheese is also a place to provision a picnic for the park -- bread, wine, etc.
